On the late afternoon of November 14, 2020, Rasheed Walker, 31, was fatally shot outside his brother’s barbershop in North Nashville. According to reports, a man armed with a rifle emerged from a black car and ran toward Walker; Walker tried to flee and was struck. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in extremely critical condition and later died.

Homicide detectives released surveillance images identifying a suspect with a distinctive patch over his right eye. Public tips led investigators to 29-year-old Robert Rasean Smith, who had a prior record including armed robbery and burglary and was believed to be driving a black 2012 Nissan Maxima. Authorities said the motive was robbery; Walker’s younger brother Benny witnessed the shooting and attempted to return fire as the assailant fled.

Walker was a teacher’s aide at Cora Howe Exceptional School, founder of the Nashville Pro-Am Basketball League and the nonprofit HustleStrong, and remembered for his work with local youth. If anyone knew Rasheed or saw the area that afternoon, does any additional information remain to be shared?
